Hello,
You may be too experienced for me. Although my regular pard on OKB is a silver LM and has 150 golds.
I only have 440 pts , but did get my LM 3 years ago. What you have stated re: conventions I can play.
Look forward to hearing from you. My user name on OKB is Skype.
Skypee in California.

Just curious why your preference is to NOT play Lebensohl. I can understand wanting to play Rubensohl or some other form of transfer Lebensohl, but don't understand why one would prefer to play no form of Lebensohl. I guess the only reason I can think of is tending to forget the convention or continuations.

Never heard of Rubensohl. I play Capp Stolen etc.
My P did not want to play Lebensohl, so it fell by the wayside.

Fair enough. I think it's a vital convention and one of the more important ones. But don't take my word for it. I would suggest you look into it or at least speak about it with better players. Or maybe post a poll on these forums to see what they think. I think most would consider Stolen bid doubles to be inferior, with the one exception of a 2♣ overcall.

You didn't read his first post closely enough, I'm sure he made it very clear that he is already an excellent player and has no need for such advice.
